presiding elder passed his character,
and moved to advance him 10 the
elders orders. Carried.
The question OF supernumerary
preachers was then called up. The
bishop explained the meaning Of this
term. Supernumerary preachers are
those who are temporarily unable to
do effective duty. The report OF the
committee of inquiry" in the case of
Rev. j. Fl. White was received. They
referred the case to the Los Angeles
presiding elder for trial. Mr.. Bland
addressed the conference on Mr..
Whites case. He thought that the
brother had been unju.tly treated.
The charges (some language in a let
ter, which, if true, forms sufficient
grounds to expel him from the minis-
try) brought against him, were the
same as brought a year before and
from which he was exonerated. He
thought that it was unjust to him TO
have this trial put off, aud that it
should be held before the open con-
ference in justice to him.
Rev. A. M. Hough spoke in behalf
of the committee. He gave the rea-
sons for referring the case to the pre-
siding elder The only evidence given
before the "court OF inquiry" were
which they had received
and which were not sufficient evidence
to convict the brother. Several other
gentlemen spoke on the question,
many of them referring very highly to
Brother White, stating that he always
drew good congregations and did good
work.
The Bishop then stated that the
elder should proceed as soon as possi-
BILE with the case. Rev. A. nj. Hough
was appointed to formulate charges
against j. H. White and to represent
The church in the case.
